Baseball stands in quiet mourning for its pioneer, Tommy John. The legendary pitcher died at age 83. Yet his name still echoes because of the miracle surgery that saved his career. Fox News senior medical analyst Dr. Marc Siegel appeared on 'Fox & Friends' to honor this legacy. He spoke about how the revolutionary ulnar collateral ligament procedure changed sports medicine forever. More than 2,500 pitchers have undergone the operation since its inception. Siegel also shifted focus to Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. The official just unveiled a new child health and nutrition agenda. This plan aims to improve fitness for young people across the nation.
